The Truth About Him

After answering hastily, the contestants started running.

The spectators on the sidelines had already left with mixed feelings. In short, it is hoped that the players can grow from this experience.

Haha! Serves you right!!!

"Run! Run! Run until you die!!!" Isashiki-senpai shouted at the court.

"It looks like the coach is really angry!" Kadota said.

"They didn't even give an end time, which is quite infuriating!"

Despite facing such a team, Sayonara didn't win until the Ninth Inning!

"Although I'm sure we'll win, it's still a lot of pressure watching from the sidelines!" Oni-san laughed.

"As expected, the opponent didn't score after the first game!"

It did look quite dangerous, and Sendou probably came out because he was angry!

"Even that guy couldn't stand it anymore!" Senior Tanba said.

As one of the third-year students who was closest to Sendou, Tanba had a certain understanding of Sendou.

"Ah!

Although they conceded another point after the substitution, Kawakami and Sawamura maintained excellent control, and they were the ones who saved the game.

Even though Sawamura is still as noisy as ever!

From the warm-up in the first game to when he took to the court... that guy." When talking about the opponent not scoring, Kadota- senpai's tone softened a lot.

This game may seem thrilling, but it was actually quite stable because the subsequent pitchers were incredibly reliable.

With few hits, the team could focus on catching up without any extra pressure.

"In the end, it was those meaningless Four Balls in the first game that disrupted the team's rhythm!"

Summer matches often see situations where the first set is scored!

However, back then, even if a team fell behind, they could quickly catch up.

However, the new team has completely lost its power-hitting feel, so Furuya!

More important than a superhuman pitch on a particular day is how to perform at your best on days when you're not in good form.

"Only those who can consistently perform well in every game are the true ace!" Senior Tanba said passionately.

"Hmm?" Onii-san, Kadota -senpai, Isashiki-senpai, and the others all stared at his face.

Senior Tanba's passionate speech vanished completely; being stared at like that was so awkward...

"What... what are you doing?"

"I've always been told this by those who supervise me, but now that I'm looking at it from an outsider's perspective, I understand it much better..." Senior Tanba explained hastily.

"We didn't say anything!" Oni-san laughed.

"Although I didn't do this well!... Damn it!!!"

Everyone laughed at the sight of Senior Tanba.

"No!! You already did that at Koshien, you were just like an ace!" Captain Tetsu put his hand on his shoulder and smiled gently.

"Cheer up!!!"

"Hi!!"

The shouts of the new team's players could be heard from inside the arena.

"These guys probably don't know that they'll be our Practice Match opponents before the official match!"

"Just wait and see how I deal with them!!" Isashiki-senpai said fiercely upon hearing the voices of his juniors.

"No! Let's teach them a lesson tomorrow!"

"That's right!" Onii-san smiled and agreed with Isashiki-senpai's proposal.

"Sendou went back first!"

"That's true!"

That guy is the most pitiful one!

"He won't just stay silent like this!"

"Whether it's for himself or for Miyuki and the others!" Senior Chris said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" asked Isashiki-senpai.

Others also didn't understand.

"It's best not to say anything now!" Senior Chris said with a smile, watching the departing figure on the court.

"However! Even if I get scolded by the supervisor, I guess I can only deal with the problems one by one now!"

"Just like us last year!"

At this point, Furuya was already regretting it so much that he wanted to do it all over again. He was also gradually understanding some of the things that Sendou had said to him before.

Although no one can guarantee how long he will remember it.

"Manager! Please turn on the lights!"

"Looks like we'll be running around very late today!" Head Manager Oota said to the manager who was staying behind.

"After scolding everyone, I made them all shout and run!"

This tactic is so old!

This is something that only teams with mediocre skills would do!

Oh well!

"It wouldn't be a bad thing to let Furuya calm down and reflect on his actions at this point." Coach Ochiai thought to himself, glancing in the direction Sendou had left.

"As expected!"

Such a long rest has made his body sluggish.

Judging from that swing, if it weren't for that coordination issue, he probably would have flown out of bounds by now!

That's why he apologized! Coach Ochiai stroked his chin and walked towards Coach Kataoka.

"Kataoka-san!"

"Sendou's side..."

Ignore him!

That guy knew what he should do! That's why he apologized!

Sendou Akira is a man who never gives up!

He will deliver a performance that satisfies him and leaves him with no regrets.

In other words, if he is satisfied with losing the game, then that's enough.

Conversely... even if he wins the game but doesn't win himself, he will make himself into someone he can be satisfied with.

"That's the real him!" Coach Kataoka didn't know what Coach Ochiai was going to ask, so he simply summarized it to keep it short.

"That's true!"

It seems he had already realized his problem!

I saw him practicing by himself in a corner just a few nights ago!

But that place was so dark, it almost scared me to death!

"Really? He didn't ask you to keep it a secret?"

"No! Nothing was said, which means there was no need to say it outright, nor was there any intention to hide it!"

"Soga!"

That child needs a strong opponent!

Now he can practice entirely on his own!

"Then I'll head back first. It's better if I just watch from the sidelines."

It's getting a little boring here..."

"Oh?"

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm very confident in my ability to conceal my presence!" Coach Ochiai made a cold joke before leaving the field.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

In Sendou's secret corner, just as Coach Kataoka said, someone was practicing his swing alone.

"So it was here after all!" Coach Ochiai was hiding in a corner not far away.

Sendou swung the bat alone until dinner, and he guessed that Coach Kataoka would let that group of people run until very late.

So, after dinner, I went back to my room to read comics, and the group of people came back when it was completely dark.

Say hello before going out.

They perfectly avoided the crowd... except for Coach Ochiai was keeping a close watch on them.

For others, the real suffering is just beginning.

I just realized this morning that there are still more than ten days until Chinese New Year!

Sorry, I need to go out to buy some things tomorrow and need to get up early, so I'll have to leave the remaining two thousand words for now.

I may need to go out from time to time during the Chinese New Year period, which may result in missed updates or even leave. Please bear with me.

Finally, shamelessly begging for votes...
